     Yes  - it makes this information visible in the 'Handbook updates' 
summary,
for example.  It also provides a concise "Who/What/When/Why" view, which
would require grovelling through multiple revisions pages and some
guessing to get at otherwise.  It also gives a quick overview of what's
going on for a page which is in moderation.

     Probably a better long-term solution is to improve the presentation 
of
this information in book.module, but in the meantime, it's not an 
onerous
requirement, and it's probably a good discipline in that it makes us 
think
about what it is we're doing :)
